Hi all,
I have just purchased a 2003 Golf 1.8T 180bhp. I noticed on the test drive that the temperature gauge didn't get to the right temperature, so just thought i'll change the thermostat and sensor.
Another issue I noticed is the fuel gauge seemed to over-read.
Anyway, since owning i've replaced with all genuine parts
TB, all tensioners, water pump, thermostat, green temp sensor, g13.
HOWEVER:
The temp gauge still does not read to 90 degrees and the fuel gauge still over reads.
I have checked in Vagcom, which shows in engine parameters the coolant temp is pretty much 90 degrees bang on. BUT the instrument parameters shows temperature as 72 degrees at the same time.
Fuel tank level shows 53 litres even though i've driven a good 100 miles since filling up.
Vagcom instrument tests shows the gauges work as normal
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
